The report in question. One can clearly see that q->name is freed, but then
only q->messages.len is accessed.

I haven't tried creating self-contained reproducer for this. I will do that if
I am asked.

Version: clang version 6.0.0-svn309375-1~exp1 (trunk); from the debian snapshot
packages, on Debian Stretch.

165     void queues_destroy(queues_t *qs) {
166       for (queue_t *q = qs->queues; q; q = q->next) {

1 Loop condition is true.  Entering loop body →

167         queue_destroy(q);

2   ← Calling 'queue_destroy' →

168         free(q);
169       }
170       pthread_mutex_destroy(&qs->lock);
171     }


80      static void queue_destroy(queue_t *q) {
81        pthread_mutex_destroy(&q->lock);
82        free(q->name);

3   ← Memory is released →

83        for (size_t i = 0; i < q->messages.len; ++i)

4   ← Use of memory after it is freed

84          free(q->messages.data[i].start);
85        VEC_FINAL(q->messages);
86        for (size_t i = 0; i < q->waiting.len; ++i)
87          pn_decref(q->waiting.data[i]);
88        VEC_FINAL(q->waiting);
89      }
